Have you taken your joy today? 🤡 For this look I was inspired looking back at Alexander McQueen’s otherworldly clowns in A/W 2009 fashion show, titled “The Horn of Plenty, looks. There were those who found his picture of women with sex-doll lips and sometimes painfully theatrical costumes ugly. ⠀
⠀
(My Mum was in shock when she saw me in this makeup look, thinking I am somewhat a crazy clown , lol. )⠀ But McQueen showed me a different way of looking at beauty. He had a very specific idea of women, which was celebratory but in a way that was very powerful. The women were powerful. ⠀
I still remember when we had a chance to visit V&A museum in my student years in London for Savage Beauty exhibition, celebrating the extraordinary creative talent of one of the most innovative designers of recent times, Alexander McQueen. It was breathtaking and unforgettable experience. To be there and be able to see fantasy with my own very eyes in real life! I still remember it as if it was yesterday, such a bright memory, which is filling my heart with inspiration.⠀ I am always so curious what would have Lee McQueen created more if he was still alive? How many masterpieces and fantastical looks, inspirational ideas would be brought to life? I have stopped following the creations of Alexander McQueen brand, as they very much lack that passion, that original creative and very very talented mind. ⠀
